John 15:4-7 AMPC

4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. 

5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 

6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

  • We do not have the abidance of the Spirit so we can live fruitless lives. 
  • The Spirit of God lives inside us so we can bear much fruit!
  • His Word can be the force in our lives that produces creativity around us.
  • It needs to happen because of the words we speak by the power of the Spirit. 
  • Can you get up and pray when you said that you were going to? 
  • Can you break the monotony of life by letting the shout out of your belly when it looks like you have nothing to shout about? 
  • You have the power to change the world, but you have to see that it can be changed. 
  • The spirit of this world will want to harass you, defeat you, and discourage you. It will want you to live disappointed, fractured, and beneath the privileges of who you are as a child of the Most High God. 
  • It is very simple to me. He said, “If you abide in me and my word abides in you, you can ask whatever you want and it shall be done for you.” (John 15:7)
  • Declare, “This year is going to be a year of productivity! Stuff is about to manifest in my life. I refuse to live in disappointment. I refuse to live in discouragement.”

John 15:14-16 AMPC

14 You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command you to do.

15 I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. [I have revealed to you everything that I have learned from Him.]

16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I Am], He may give it to you. 

  • We all have had many opportunities to stop. 
  • I have had many opportunities to lie down and say, “You know what, it’s not worth it anymore.” 
  • But the moment I get like that, an abiding presence of God goes to work on the inside of me by the power of His Word! 
  • It pulls me up and says, “Paul Brady, you have a destiny, and I need you to accomplish that destiny.”
  • Let me tell you — I have to get up, get over myself, and shout when I don’t even feel like shouting. 
  • I have to quote the Word when I don’t want to, because nothing further from the truth looks like it is happening. 
  • I do these things. Why? Because I believe that God cannot lie.
  • “This year is my year, and I am going to see fruit come to pass in my life!” 
  • God is looking for the constantly consistent. He is looking for the person who, regardless of the circumstances, will keep on getting on. 
  • No matter how tired you are, you still get up and do it again. 
  • He is looking for somebody to rise and call Him blessed and say, “Lord, I am here. Use me if You can.”
  • I am talking to businessman, people of careers. I am talking to people in employment — you are going to go further than you ever thought you were going to. 
  • Either it is true, or it is not. What is the influence that is determining your life?
